They are the basic components of life or the basic building blocks of life
Answer:
It is a salt of two polyatomic ammonium ions and one polyatomic sulfate ion
Explanation:
Ammonium Sulfate is an ionic compound formed by two polyatomic ions, Ammonium NH+4 and Sulfate SO−4 . ... Therefore, it will take two +1 ammonium ions to balance the one -2 sulfate ion. This will make the formula for Ammonium Sulfate (NH4)2SO4
The slight positive charges on the hydrogen atoms in water molecules attract the slight negative charges on the oxygen atoms of the other water molecules
Answer:
The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).
Explanation:
First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.
Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1
Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2
Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.
From
Zeff= Z- S
The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.
Answer:
Uranium must be purified before it is used as a fuel source
Explanation:
The purer the uranium sample, the more the concentration of uranium in the fuel is.
Whenever uranium is extracted from nature, it contains a lot of impurities. Only a few special nuclear reactors can utilize uranium in this raw state. most of the others have to get uranium to become about 3% pure before they begin using it.
To do this, uranium has to be passed through a series of chemical reactions all with the aim of extracting the other compounds that may be present in the fuel.
